Manaslu
Circuit Trek. Manaslu is one of the recently opened
areas for trekking with limited number of tourists each
year. The passing through Larkya La Pass (5153m) cuts
behind the Manaslu massif offers some of the finest
trekking spots in the Himalayan wilderness. We commence
the trek from Gorkha and trek up the wild Buri Gandaki
River through rough gorges slicing between Himchuli
(7890m) and Ganesh (7429m). The trek is geographically
spectacular and culturally fascinating. The views of
Manaslu and other neighboring peaks are spectacular from
Larkya La Pass. Much of this trek is in a region of
strong Tibetan influence. The inhabitants of upper Buri
Gandaki region are Nupri, who are direct descendants of
Tibetan immigration. Buddhist prayer flags and chortens
are abundant in the region. |
